Had an idea. Why not have a thread full of OLD STUFF we own!! :D

Like old phones, computers, monitors, consoles, hardware, tvs, general old computer stuff.

Also include old/classic cars.

Watches/clocks/paintings/collections.

out of date stuff ie newer versions etc. :)

Just anything OLD. I originally wanted to start this just for gadgets and computer related stuff but may as well have all old stuff.

I saw a picture of a phone on theverge that kicked off nostalgia and wanting to dig deep to find more old stuff.

So for now, I have a Nokia 7600 i think it is called, will look later for it and take a picture but this bad boy. Also have a SNES, 2 commodore 64 and god knows what else at my parents, but let the old stuff posting commence :)

EDIT: Lets change it to old stuff we dont want to get rid of :D

I still have my ColecoVision, my first console. It's broken but I can't bring myself to get rid of it so it sits boxed up in storage. My NES, SNES, N64 and Dreamcast (my last console). The 8-track stereo system my dad bought a year after I was born now has a place of pride in my bedroom. I still remember listening to tapes on it when I was barely old enough to work the controls. I had a Master Merlin game as a kid and it vanished long ago, but I bought a replacement on eBay a while back. As you can probably tell by now I'm kind of sentimental.

I've got a Panasonic video cartridge player, an early type of VCR that used EIAJ-2 cartridges. A Commodore 64, TI-99/4A, an IBM PC/XT and my trusty Powerbook 1400c laptop. The keyboard that I'm typing on right now was made in 1987 so I guess that counts too. There's a Philco tube radio on my bookshelf made in the 1930s that still works great. Lots of old records including 78s and two stacks of 45s, old tapes, etc. My Sony walkman (cassette).

YES!! :D

I think this thread would be a lot better if people posted photos of the items they are saying they have. I mean, I could come on here and spout off about how I have got this and that old products when in reality I have none of it.

I had nothing else to do so I took a few photos of what I had within reach. To keep in the spirit of things I used my crappy 12 year old digital camera. :laugh:

Outdated Processors

Misc Computer Stuff

TI-99/4A Computer

IBM PC Keyboard

Some old Games

Powerbook 1400

8-Track Stereo

Philco Radio

Master Merlin

A couple pictures of some of my ISA and PCI cards I took a few years ago.

Panasonic Video Cartridge Player, this one isn't mine but it's the model I have.

I forgot I also have a Member's Only jacket in my closet. It wasn't mine, honest!

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI by David Uzondu Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations. The company's VP of vehicle hardware engineering, Charles **** said that leaders overlooked the deep experience of veterans who survived many product cycles. **** admitted that simply replacing them with AI was a huge mistake, and that while AI is "a fantastic tool," it remains "only as good as the information you use to train it." The rehired engineers now run mandatory meetings to troubleshoot vehicles and reprogram automated engineering software and AI tools to prevent glitches before production. These technical specialists hunt for failure points before a part ever reaches the plant floor. This hands-on process prevents the massive recalls and defects that previously cost the company billions. CEO Jim Farley noted that this return to human oversight quickly decreased warranty coverages and recall costs. The change saves the automaker hundreds of millions of dollars as it aims to cut one billion dollars in expenses this year. In last year's JD Power Quality Survey, an annual study that measures the quality of a car during the first three months of ownership, Ford finished 10th among mainstream brands and scored below the industry average. But this year, JD Power ranked the automaker as the top mainstream brand, placing it above the likes of Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Ford attributed this massive improvement directly to the expertise of these returned engineers. Ford's realization that AI cannot magically design and test quality vehicles without senior human oversight is just the tip of the iceberg. When Careerminds looked at companies that conducted AI-driven layoffs, researchers found out that 35.6% of those companies had to rehire more than half of the employees they previously fired. Another 32.7% had to rehire between 25% and 50% of them. In 2024, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, proudly announced that its new chatbot was doing the work of 700 full-time customer service agents. As a result, the fintech company froze hiring and cut hundreds of positions. But by mid 2025, and into 2026, Klarna was scrambling to recruit human agents again because customer satisfaction had plummeted. It turns out, while AI is very good at answering basic questions like how to check an account balance, when faced with complex customer issues that require nuance, the thing usually resorts to the unhelpful, robotic corporate jargon we all know and love.
    • Free AI in IDEs is shifting to paid models Or you know, you could just learn to actually design and code apps, use frameworks to handle the repetitive parts and not use AI at all - and voila... free for life!
    • In a sane world US antitrust laws wouldn't even allow these companies to be in the position to be subjected to EU directives. As you say, better than oligarch nothing.
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 Good grief, Apple hasn't even released a first folding phone and the Apple faithful is already obsessing over the sequel? Seriously people, go out and touch grass... because this level of obsession is borderline stalkery/neurotic.
